Baxter Slates Noon Robinson Poetry Reading
The works of Edwin Arlington Robinson, American poet, will be the topic of the English reading by Dr. Frank C. Baxter today at noon in 229 FH.
“The great tradition of poetry can be found in the works of men such as Robinson,” Dr. Baxter said. "These are the writers who have faith in man, who seek to find the meaning and values of life .and who respect beauty, intellect, and nobility.”
“Through a use of vision, wisdom. clarity, balance, a. sense of wonder, and the gift of rhythmic and suggestive communication, these men make intelligible comment on what they deem human ‘truth’ in terms of beauty.”
“It is with this great tradition that Robinson allied himself. The reader must judge for himself how far this serious and gifted Ameri. can poet succeeded,” Dr. Baxter said. '

We have great hopes for his future at SC.”
